LONDON. April 20.--Lord Salisbury, in ad-
dress delivered last night before the Prim rose
League, at Albert Palace, the occasion / eing
the sixth anniversary of the death Of the Earl
of Beaconsfield said the hollow agitation car
ried on during the Easter holidays by the oppo-
sitlon had failed. and that the governments
cause was the countrys. The COVER nment
stood in Ireland facing vast machine produc-
ing terrorism apd crime against which the gov
ernment intended to struggle with all the pow
ers Parliament would grant. Mr. Gl,ldstone's
imagination deceived him when he atte mpted to
prove that his party's prospects wasre vory

of 1881. Under the latter measure ,ple were
imprisoned without trial. This could not be
done under the present bill The suppression s
of crime in Ireland did not the impression
of liberty. The policeman, in arr esting Bill
Sykes, did not interfere with liberty. Yet Mr..
Gladstone condemned this crimes repression

words. Mr.. Gladstone, who had spent his life
in changing his opinions, mentioned those who
